Ignacy Trzewiczek Interview Part 2

Here is part 2 of our Live crowd-sourced interview with the mighty Ignacy!

@the_FlyingSheep#boardgamersask Was playtesting a co-op game different from testing a competitive game in any unexpected ways?
@trzewik@the_FlyingSheep #boardgamersask it was unexpected easier. I could do 4, 5 test games per day just playing alone and pretending 4 players
@the_FlyingSheep@trzewik #BoardGamersAsk Hmm... that seems to support the "co-ops are solitaire by committee" argument.

@bguffe#boardgamersask @trzewik What polish game(s) deserves a wider, international distribution?
@trzewik@bguffe #boardgamersask #Metallum is pretty good. #K2 is very good.

@jen_freeman#boardgamersask @trzewik what is your favourite novel based game not from yourself?

@trzewik@jen_freeman #boardgamersask I really love In 80 days around world from Kosmos. Underrated family game!

@MofBGHi @trzewik do you have any plans to publish other designers games through Portal Games? Do you take submissions? #boardgamersask (not me)
@trzewik@MofBG #boardgamersask Yes, we have new authors signed already and I always look for good games that matches my philosophy of good game

@BoardGamersAskDo we have any new people taking part today? give us a *wave* #boardgamersask

@RMBLeesApart from "the story", what is the most important part of designing games that tell stories? @trzewik #boardgamersask
@trzewik@RMBLees #boardgamersask choices choices, you put choices. Players choose. Then they want rematch to see other outcome from different choice

@coffeeswillerWhat percent of blind playtesters usually return feedback? Any recommendations for increasing the return rate? #boardgamersask
@trzewik@coffeeswiller #boardgamersask I don't do blind testing

@BoardGamersAskFor some reason Twitter hates me right now, I'm hosting #boardgamersask half blind.. I'm sure it will be fine for the rest of you!
@WispHollow@BoardGamersAsk #BoardGamersAsk ummmmm open your other eye and you won't be half blind

@BoardGamersAskI'd like to know @trzewik, what made you publish a book and also why on Kickstarter? Looking forward to it BTW #boardgamersask
@trzewik@BoardGamersAsk #boardgamersask I really wanted my blog posts put on my shelf. So I asked myself: "Hey, perhaps there is few more like me"

@rhiochsChecking in with #boardgamersask while I play #Opera. Hi, #boardgamersask and @trzewik. Good job to you both!

@the_FlyingSheep#BoardGamersAsk After the success of using KS for your book, are you considering using KS for publishing a game?
@trzewik@the_FlyingSheep #boardgamersask yes and no. Can't explain in 140. I will make a post next week about it. I note this down. Fair?

I can't see this post, but my guess is that it will appear here at some point: http://boardgamesthattellstories.wordpress.com/
